Help with developer.wordpress.org

Hello everyone! Work is continuing on developer.wordpress.org but our team is very small and we’d love to get help from more developers to help us to get it out the door. The full spec is here but in brief it’s a new site with developer resources including a code reference and handbooks. You can see the work in progress here.

Of most interest at the minute, and furthest along, is the code reference which makes use of the work done by the inline docs folks. We’re approaching having a production version ready but we need some help to get it out the door. Here’s what we currently need help with (in order of priority):

If any developers would like to get involved we would love to have you. We have a regular meeting on Tuesdays 19:00 UTC in #wordpress-sfd and also a Skype channel I’m happy to add you to. We would love to get this project finished and ready for all of you to use.

Awesome 🙂 There are a number of specific things that need to be done on the themes:

1. We need to make some tweaks to the code reference theme but we can’t get on with that until the Parser is finished. Once the information is being properly parsed then we can deal with styling it.

2. In the meantime, we need some work on the theme and plugin developer handbooks. I’m going to have to connect with @krogsgard and @rarst to check on the progress – I should be able to post back here with some tickets and specific tasks.

Then get a local setup going and start testing the parser. If you have any bugs file a report or fix them. If you have any problems getting set up let me know. You can find me in IRC as siobhan anytime and if you want to connect on Skype, ping me in IRC and I’ll let you know my username.

I talked with someone via IRC a couple days ago and was directed towards instructions on getting the dev environment set up on my computer. Should have some time tonight and tomorrow night to get it up and running.
